Opening Ceremoney of Main Buildings
Introduction
of FLICAM
Fule International Ceramic Art Museums
(FLICAM) is composed of a main exhibition hall and exhibition wings.
It also includes many ceramic museums for different countries or regions
and many multi-functional facilities.
The program for each of these museums
starting from inviting ceramic artists from that country or region
to Fuping and work there for a period of time, say two to four weeks,
part of their work will donate to the museum to be the initial collection
of that museum. FLICAM will then commit to build a ceramic museum
for that country or region. Then a resident program will follow yearly
and two artists from that country will be invited (not same time)
and work each year for two months period and part of their work will
be added to the collection of that country's museum. It is hope that
all the work done will reflect China's culture, tradition or even
its landscape of the great northwest. Through this process, museum
achieve the culture exchange purpose between China and that country
through ceramics.
The main museum hall and wings
and the residents' living quarters and studio are built in 2004. Then
the Documentary Museum, the French Museum and the Scandinavia Museum
will be build in 2005 and artists from these countries will be invited
to Fuping to do ceramic work. Other museums such as the NCECA Museum
of USA, the Australia Museum and the Contemporary Chinese Museum are
scheduled for 2006. Other countries such as Great Britain, Germany,
Africa, Asia, South Europe, Eastern Europe are under consideration.
